Experiments

Experiments exploring new forms of experience in real world and online communities

EXPERIMEDIA is investigating what the Future Internet will be used for. EXPERIMEDIA currently has 9 “experiments” operating, with more to come from the second open call, but what is an experiment?

Learning by doing: each experiment is trying to find something out, and not just “does my software work?”

Respecting ethics and law: we have a dedicated legal partner to advise on data protection and ethics

Going beyond the state of the art: we must be trying new ideas, we must innovate

Providing impact for the venue: experiments should engage with the venue and demonstrate potential business value

We are experimenting in real places with real people. Each experiment creates a system using the baseline technologies from the project along with additional technologies from the experimenter. Each experiment collects live data to understand the participants’ interactions with their system and link together quality of service, quality of experience and quality of community measures.
